ACT-3X Programmable Panel Tachometer/Totalizer

The ACT-3X is a powerful NIST calibrated fully programmable tachometer and totalizer. It accepts inputs from all Monarch speed sensors or from any standard TTL generating device. The unit operates from 120/240Vac input power or from 12 or 24Vdc input power (optional). Programming is easily performed through the 5 front panel push buttons or using the optional PM Remote Software. Set up for single channel monitoring or use the auxiliary second channel input. Programmable scale factor with menu selection for multiple pulses per revolution, linear rates, totalization, single event trip speeds and rate of change in rpm. A TTL pulse repeater output is standard. Options include: 0-5Vdc or 4-20mA isolated (or non-isolated) outputs and 2 Form C programmable relay outputs. Available communication options include: bi-directional

RS232C, USB or Ethernet. When used with the optional PM Remote Software, the communication options allow for remote configuration, real-time view of data, and data streaming directly into Microsoft Excel™.

PM Remote Software

ACT-3X Programmable Panel Tachometer/Totalizer

PM (Panel Meter) Remote Software is a Windows™ based software application that allows the user to customize the configuration of the ACT-3X tachometer/totalizer. Set the mode of operation to RPM, RPS, Frequency, Totalization, Single Event Capture or Rate of Change and select the input scale (pulses per revolution). In addition, the decimal places displayed can be selected as well as the output scale of the optional analog output modules. The two alarm setpoints are easily configured within the Alarms tab. From the Advanced tab, the user can set the input pulse trigger and optional output pulse to be positive or negative. Complete unit configurations can be saved to disk and quickly reloaded or transferred to other ACT-3X units. Real-time data can be displayed directly on the PC along with Min and Max values. Data can be streamed directly into Microsoft Excel™ with one simple mouse click. PM Remote Software is supplied on CD and is included when purchasing the optional 3 foot programming cable (1/8” (3.5mm) phone plug to USB connector). Units ordered with USB, RS232 or Ethernet do not include an interface cable.
